On my RC9500's I've started playing with using Timers. The problem is that I upload new configs pretty regularly and whenever I do that and upload to the remote all my timers are wiped out and I have to start over. Is there any way to either A) prevent the timers from getting overwritten or B) program the timers in Wizz.It so they get passed whenever I upload a new config?

I know I can hand modify the XML that is in the PCF file and that will upload to the device each time - I just wonder if there is a graphical way to do it.

There is no graphical way to do this. I have specifically done this in PPENG but not the Marantz equivalent editor (wizz.it).

If you download your configuration to remote, set the timers, then upload the configuration, the timer configuration should be preserved as long as you edit the file that was uploaded and use that edited copy to download to remote. If you change timers on the remote, to get them back to your PC, you will need to upload again.

If you are interested in seeing how this occurs and how the timers are represented, you can unzip the PCF file (set extension to zip) and then view/edit the configedit.xml file that was contained in the zip.

That is sort of what I was working towards as well, I figured there was no difference in downloading FROM the remote whenever I update the timers and use that to send TO my remotes from that point on.

Thank you!
